Yes, believe it or not we are cold here in China. You would think these Utahans would be used to the cold but that's not the case. The high in the day has been in the upper 50's and gets down in the low 40's at night. Normally this would be bearable but the buildings aren't insulated very well and they aren't equipped with very good heaters. Our home is all either hard wood or tile which gets really cold. Each room has a small heater but it doesn't seem to help much. My classroom doesn't have a heater at all and is right next to the main stairwell so I am always getting a cold draft. I am always cold during the day. We didn't come prepared for this and left most of our warm clothes back in Utah. You can bet what is now on our list to bring back next year. We had to go out and buy a few things to get us through this year. Amazingly enough, they have some really nice winter clothes here and they are CHEAP.
Vika is all bundled up in her new coat for school.
My scarves have come in very handy in keeping me warm.
